Wow, where to start? I found out about this PT boat and got the offer to help volunteer in the restoration. Well today was my first day checking it out and doing some work. Thes best part was working with the vets and having lunch with them. 2 of them fought in the battle of Leyte Gulf, and one had his pt boat sunk by a kamikaze!
